Jurgen Klopp explains why Harvey Elliott is starting despite 6 changes

Although Harvey Elliott has been hailed as a “super player,” Jurgen Klopp has made six changes to his Liverpool team to face Brighton.

Three days after a 2-0 victory over Union SG at Anfield, the Reds are in East Sussex for their eighth Premier League match of the year.

Klopp had already planned to make a number of changes between the two matches due to the short preparation period and quick turnaround.

But it was unexpected to see Elliott start instead of Wataru Endo, who was substituted at halftime in a midweek game in what the manager claimed was a planned change.

Along with Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Darwin Nunez, the 20-year-old has kept his spot, and Klopp has explained why.

Just the way Harvey had appeared over the previous weeks.
He stated in his pre-game interview with Sky Sports that he had a strong performance on Thursday.

"He's a super player" 🙌

He hasn’t played too much lately, in my opinion.
He appeared a few times, played some games, and is a fantastic player.

“So that was the decision that led to that.

We must be very physically robust, adept with the ball, and proficient in one-on-one matches.
Real physicality on the ball or extreme quickness are required for Brighton’s man-marking.

He can be both, just like the others, so that was the motivation.

Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, and Curtis Jones are among the seven players who are out, leaving Klopp with fewer options at the AMEX.

But he will be hoping that his starting lineup can hold up against a Brighton team that struggled in a 2-2 draw with Marseille on Thursday night.

Elliott, on the other hand, will be fired up, expressing his excitement to make his first league start of the year to Sky Sports.

The midfielder said, “You can see the quality in the group.
It’s part of football to wait for your chance, and hopefully I can seize it.

Liverpool was advised to bring in two players who could “win them the Champions League”

Two players that would make Liverpool contenders for the Champions League once more have been urged Jurgen Klopp to sign.

Jermaine Pennant, a former Liverpool winger, thinks Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram will help Jurgen Klopp’s team compete for the Champions League next year.
In the summer, both midfielders were rumored to be interested in moving to Anfield, and now they are expected to do so in the near future.

Before this season began, Klopp oversaw a significant revamp of his midfield.
After Naby Keita, James Milner, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were released from their contracts at the end of their terms, he allowed Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to leave.

Prior to adding Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch later in the window, he quickly brought in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. But Pennant thinks Liverpool still needs to put in more effort to be competitive for major awards.

Two of Europe’s rising midfield stars are Borussia Monchengladbach’s Kone and Nice’s Thuram, both 22.

Pennant is a huge supporter of both and thinks they would make the necessary changes to help the Reds win the Champions League for a record-tying seventh time.

Both 22-year-olds Kone of Borussia Monchengladbach and Thuram of Nice have established themselves as two of Europe’s rising midfield stars.

Pennant is a huge fan of both and thinks they would make the necessary changes to help the Reds win the Champions League for a seventh time.

Pennant stated, “I’d like to see Liverpool sign a proper enforcer in January,” to Lucky Block.
In my opinion, Manu Kone is that player.
He would make a great number six in my opinion, and I would advise Mac Allister to advance more.

“Khephren Thuram, of whom I have always been a huge fan, and Kone would be the cherry on top, respectively.
You might be able to work it out even though he doesn’t play as a 6.
We could have a dominant midfield if we can secure them in January!

“Those two might be able to help Liverpool win the Champions League. Liverpool’s midfield would rank among the best if Kone and Thuram were included.

It becomes an unbelievable team when you include the front five and players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson, and Virgil van Dijk in the back.

Despite highlighting the need for additional signings, Pennant expressed satisfaction with the deals Klopp made over the summer.
“I think this ranks among Klopp’s best transfer windows,” he continued.

He is a master at everything.
Even though I’d prefer to see Mac Allister play a bit further forward, Dominik Szoboszlai has had an incredible start, and Allister is a quality addition.

“Endo will be reliable once he settles, and Ryan Gravenberch also seems promising.
Now that Liverpool has it, they have the new energy and fresh legs they needed.
It appears that Liverpool’s midfield won’t be overrun for the first time in a long time.

They contribute by setting goals for themselves and are strong, confident players.
I don’t think Henderson scored once, and I believe Fab only scored two goals, but this midfield has already scored more goals than it did last season.
Already, this midfield has surpassed that
